Poster Formatting

• Please visit and review the Thesis documents and information on the Department of Natural Sciences (DNS) Resource page. There are multiple poster examples and a downloadable template with the correct dimensions.
• Your poster should be built as a single, very large, PowerPoint file using the dimensions and examples provided on the site.
• You may also walk the East Wing of DNS to see completed posters from last semester.

File Requirements

• Completed Posters (PDF/PowerPoint) and Thesis Abstracts (Word format) need to be uploaded
  no later than noon on Monday, December 2.
• Poster files must be labeled: “Last Name, First Name Poster.pptx” or “Last Name, First Name.pdf”
• Abstracts should be labeled in the same way. Ex: “Last Name, First Name Abstract.docx”

Poster Printing

In-house poster printing at the DNS is offered at a low cost to our DNS students.

• The cost for DNS students is $25 cash only – our office does not accept cards, Zelle, Venmo, etc., but we can provide you with a receipt for your poster if requested.
• If you choose to have your poster printed elsewhere, you should notify both Lauran Soto and Don McFarlane ASAP: LSoto@ScrippsCollege.edu & dmcfarlane@natsci.claremont.edu
• Posters will be available for pickup from the East DNS Lobby after Wednesday, December 4.
• The $25 cash payment must be made to the front office in the East Lobby in office NS E181 prior to hanging your poster. Lauran can provide a receipt if needed.

Take your time to edit, format, and adjust your posters before submitting on time. If you discover an error after printing, you can request a revised print, but only on a time-permitting basis. Reprints require another payment of $25 in cash.
